I voted action, angst, drama, adventure and suspense. I would do AU but i'm pretty picky with those. I only like those if the boys are still the boys personality wise so I left it off.

Drama and angst, all the way!!  I like suspense too, and some romance.  I'll read the other genres too, but I'm picky.

Man... I leave for what two days and I can barely grasp the idea of catching up with you all!

Lets see, I voted drama, si-fi, adventure, romance, humor, and supernatural.. .   good stuff!  but there are other's I enjoy as well. I like some suspence and fantasy and the angst too. I guess I like a little of everything depending on how it's written.

(how's that for a politician's answer :D)

Fantasy.

It's about all I like, sadly enough. :D

I'll read or write just about anything, but it's usually a jumble of a bunch of things together. Most of my writing can be classified as simply fantasy and a bunch of other things. :D

I'm going to agree with Kelly, it's all in how it's written, not what te genre is.

I voted for adventure, action, AU, Sci-fi, fantasy and supernatural. I would add Horror in there too :). I write those genres a lot. I like the others but those are my faves. I do go outside of it though hehe, like Just Another Day is NONE of those LOL.
